Icarus

I found him out in the field up there
 His clothes were torn, glue in his hair
 Feather down over everything
 On the ground, his broken wings
 I washed his hair and I held his bones
 I nursed the way he felt alone
 Keeping watch over his fitful sleep
 To Caught him falling out of dreams
 Oh Icarus
 There's a wing down in each of us
 Faster than the speed of sound inside
 Everything flies
 A rush of breath, a turn of touch
 The up and down of loving so much
 The way your heart will race and rise
 A tear handing in long, slow dive
 Oh Icarus
 There's a wing down in each of us
 Faster than the speed of sound inside
 Everything flies
 Night comes on in fits and stalls
 Twilight colors looking on
 As all the evening dust kicks up
 A small hope lands where doubt once was
 Oh Icarus
 There's a wing down in each of us
 Faster than the speed of sound inside
 Everything flies
